Think of a current research project in which you are collecting and analyzing quantitative data. Now imagine that the research team assigns you the task of ensuring that your data and results are computationally reproducible.
This means that you have to provide the data and analysis code in such a way that another researcher can use it and produce exactly the same results as you. Ideally, the other researcher will not have any additional costs (such as having to buy software) that exceed the internet costs of downloading your research materials. Ideally, you should also take into account that your analyses run on different system requirements (e.g., Windows, Mac) and software versions (e.g., older versions).
adopted from ERC (2022) “Open Research Data and Data Management Plans. Information for ERC grantees” (V4.1)
Imagine you are planning to submit a study to a research funder on the relationship between students’ self-directed learning strategies and their academic performance. A survey with quantitative measures will be administered to a sample of university students, collecting data on their use of specific learning strategies, corresponding academic outcomes and demographic variables.
The information for grantees from the research funder states that the data analyses should be computationally reproducible.
“Grantees should allow other scientists to make an assessment, to attempt to reproduce the conclusions derived from the dataset, and potentially reuse the data for further research.”
This means that you should provide the data and analysis code in such a way that other researchers can use it and produce exactly the same results as you. [Ideally, the other researcher will not have any additional costs (such as having to buy software) that exceed the internet costs of downloading your research materials.] [Ideally, you should also take into account that your analyses run on different system requirements (e.g., Windows, Mac) and software versions (e.g., older versions)].
The sentences in [square brackets] will be added cumulatively in two further conditions.
